‘Trump baby’ balloon flies outside British parliament in London

"I must say, I've gotten to know Theresa May much better over the last two days than I've known her over the a year ago and a half... They just want to show that they are good moral people because they are taking a stand against Donald Trump".

Mr Trump said he looked forward to finalising a post-Brexit trade deal with Britain, marking an abrupt change from the Sun newspaper article which quoted him saying Prime MinisterTheresa May's strategy would kill such an agreement. And, although he insisted he was not trying to pit Johnson against May, he added: "I am just saying I think he would be a great prime minister. And I said tremendous things", Trump said at a joint press conference with May here.

Trump allegedly said if the Prime Minister attempted to maintain strong ties with the European Union then a trade deal with the United States would be unlikely.

"And unfortunately there was a story that was done, which was, you know, generally fine", Trump said.

Sheila Menon, one of the organizers of the balloon, said this protest has become so popular because "so many people have a very strong opinion about President Trump".

I think the Cardinals could really use Bryant for safety depth, but they weren't at his workout, so I dropped them from the list. In an attempt to bolster their secondary, the Washington Redskins are taking a chance on a talented but flawed defensive back.

Thousands of protesters also marched through the streets of London on Friday as Trump met Prime Minister Theresa May and the Queen earlier on Friday.

Organisers have also applied to fly it over his Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire on Saturday, where they hope it will be seen by the president. It was quickly followed by the resignation of two members of her Cabinet, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Brexit Secretary David Davis, who did not approve of her approach. "I think she represents her country so well", Trump said.

Queen Elizabeth welcomed the president and Melania in the Quadrangle of Windsor Castle where they inspected the Guard of Honour, formed of the Coldstream Guards.

After calling Trump's attack on him "preposterous", LondonMayor Sadiq Khan-who initially rejected organizers' efforts to fly the Trump Baby blimp-explained why he ultimately chose to allow the balloon to fly over London. "I think he has done a bad job on crime, if you look, all the disgusting things going on there, with all of the crime that is being brought in".

After the interview was published, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said the President "likes and respects May very much", adding that he had "never said anything bad about her".
